"Give us a Lift!"

Phase I of the Alexander Black House & Cultural Center Renovation Campaign was completed in August of 2014, when we opened our House doors to the Town of Blacksburg and visitors. We hope you have enjoyed our House Gift Shop, Gallery Displays, Receptions, gatherings, celebrations and special events.

Join us now as we launch Phase II of the 3 year $500,000 Renovation Campaign for the Alexander Black House & Cultural Center: "Give us a Lift!"

‘Give Us A Lift’ is our Year 1 campaign project to raise $150,000 for an Elevator, or ‘Lift’. This will allow the Alexander Black House & Cultural Center to be ADA compliant and move forward with our work to develop and share the other House floors with the public.

With your help, we can continue to transform the Alexander Black House into a full service venue for interactive and intriguing exhibits, events and programs that will appeal to all generations and tell the story of Blacksburg’s unique history, arts and cultural heritage.

Thank you for your support and participation during our first year of operation!
